Matt I just love your zeal for the Lord. Thank you for a wonderful video. I just now made a couple perches for you. I am excited to get started. I have playing the guitar for 6 months and have hit a road block. Looking forward to getting past it. I’m in the jail ministry and I want to play and worship with the guy so bad I can’t stand it. Blessing to you all. Look up our redemption is near.

[@mayukhbanerjee1147]

Just the refresher I needed on strumming, thanks! Need to change my strings though...in their current condition no amount of strumming will make them sound good 😂

[@acousticselection]

Hi great vid, is the word dynamics?

[@Isofile]

Thanks! The chord at 0:49 is that an alternative D chord? What are the finger positions?

[@itslondo9614]

[@Isofile]

ItsLondo thnx, found the video

[@itslondo9614]

No problem

[@benjaminhurley1823]

That is what I call a real D chord not to say that Matt is doing it wrong but that is personally what I call it

[@sjcampbl]

Thanks so much as always Matt! I'm wondering about the actual mechanics of the strum itself, I see you pinching your thumb against the inside knuckle of your index finger. Are you using a pick? If not, are you down strumming the nail of your index finger and up strumming the fleshy palm of your index finger? I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this one out. Thx. I've been using a .38 pick and can hear the 'slapping' of the pick. Without the pick I've been using the fleshy side of my thumb, but, can't figure out what to use on the up-strum that doesn't get caught in the strings.

[@joshvermett2766]

Try using your pointer fingers nail on the down, and thumb nail on the up,

[@christophersmith9265]

Great help Matt. When you play the C add9 how do you mute the top string, 6E ? Do you use the thumb over, or index finger pushed up against the string ?

[@acousticselection]

i just play 5 down...so leave the 6th string open

[@joshvermett2766]

But you could use the tip of your pointer to mute out the sixth.

[@wtchpls]

Uuuughhhh
